SCOTLAND's population was estimated to be 5,436,600 on Census Day hitting a record high, according to newly released data.
This is the largest population ever recorded by Scotland’s Census and is part of the first set of statistics from last year’s census.The data showed that the population of Scotland grew by 141,200 since the previous census in 2011.Without migration, the population of Scotland would have decreased by around 49,800 since 2011.Elsewhere, the population increased by 6.3% in England and Wales, and by 5.1% in Northern Ireland between 2011 and 2021.
The Constitution Secretary said that, as outlined in the Programme for Government, ministers will publish a"depopulation action plan" to tackle population decline in some of Scotland's communities. Scottish Tory MSP Donald Cameron, shadow constitution secretary, accused Robertson of being"too complacent" by claiming the population rise shows Scotland is an attractive place to live and work.
